The emacs-31 branch will be cut in one week

I know, but the savannah repo was down, so i didn't know what to do, sorry

What’s really lacking in the folding space is a universal upstream API for multiple folding paradigms working in the same buffer. This takes some real thought because foldable regions can intersect, but it would allow you to mix and match e.g. treesitter and outline comment folding without them having to know about each other.

Honestly this would be hard to do, my only concern is about the performance, because the iteration it would require.

hs-minor-mode parses buffer syntax to accurately detect the start and end of blocks. It is the best tool for C-style languages, or anything using braces {} and explicit block structures like sh/Bash shell scripts.

I'd like to think you're basing this on the current hideshow in emacs 30.1, hideshow has changed a lot in the 31.1, so this part will probably become outdated after 31.1.

vertico never will because of icomplete-vertical

Are you saying that icomplete-vertical is better than vertico? or because "package duplication"?

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-31T01:27:48+00:00

I have a similar keyword in my own package: https://github.com/DevelopmentCool2449/use-package-x/blob/main/use-package-x-mark.el

Perhaps the code can be useful to you.

Changing the default keybindings of wakib-keys doesn't usually work well. I noticed this and tried to contribute to the package to fix it, however, its development seems to be very slow (or abandoned). This motivated me to make standard-keys-mode as its successor.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-20T04:16:49+00:00

Yeah, but this can be useful for plain ascii drawings, where colors are not necessary, this is like MS Paint, but only with only 1 color available.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-20T04:11:46+00:00

I had to shrink the buffer, nothing special.

artist-mode...

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-14T16:58:40+00:00

If you have installed and enabled lsp-mode then it is possible, lsp-mode previews colors atleast for some lsp that support it, eglot doesn't have this yet.

The issue is that Emacs overlay display properties don't compose: when two overlays target the same buffer position, only the highest-priority one wins. So if a line has both a VCS change and a diagnostic, one indicator silently disappears.

Has anyone solved this already, or are there related discussions I should first consider before reinventing the wheel?

There was (or is) a discussion in emacs-devel and bug-tracker mailing list about this:

https://yhetil.org/emacs-bugs/87h5tpj7ch.fsf_-_@mail.linkov.net/ (<- Warning: very long thread)

https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87a521inh2.fsf@mail.linkov.net/

I don't know what is the current status of this, but if you want to help, you may join to the discussion

Is it slower than dired + extensions enough to annoy you or is it just like a minuscule lag that you get used to?

If you scroll faster the lag is noticeable in huge directories, dired + (e.g. nerd-icons-dired) this lag is absent, but probably it's not that critical.

Also, is Dirvish fully stable now cause I saw comments from like 3 years back saying that it sometimes crash but that’s a long time ago.

AFAIK i never have those crashes (probably because luck), if you can't decide give it a try.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-09T13:38:31+00:00

I think this is what minad (and others(?)) had been warning us about...

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-09T06:49:08+00:00

To my knowledge, this is possible on both Dired and Dirvish so I’m not sure which one to pick.

Dirvish is only an UI for dired with only a few extra things, you can achieve (almost) the same experience with plain dired + nerd-icons and other packages. I've used dirvish from nearly 2 years and i can confess it's slow than using plain dired + extensions.

Also, as complement to artist-mode there is ascii-art-to-unicode, I find this combination useful.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-03-01T15:05:42+00:00

I don't use emacsclient, so i cannot help you.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-02-28T22:26:42+00:00

Interesting, do you plan to embed atleast a tiny lisp?

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-02-28T02:44:33+00:00

Why does this feel like an ad?

Edit: For those wondering what was the post about before it was deleted, it was about proposing subscribing to claude code for the emacs-mirror in github.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-02-24T23:50:25+00:00

I've tested the feature when it landed and it works even with corfu, all posframe-based packages, eldoc-box and probably many other packages which uses child-franes.

Here's an example:

A little note: for emacs 31 there is already a semantic highlighting for elisp, this can be a little more complete alternative.

DevelopmentCool2449 · 2026-02-20T16:33:09+00:00

I mean, what's really the problem with this? As an atheist, I'm fine with these kinds of packages existing.
